No. She’s treated the same as any of the other Republican candidates from the extreme end of the party. If she gets more attention, it’s because she has a relatively higher profile than someone like Rick Santorum.

“Bachmann — she’d never get my vote, but she has my ire at how the media is treating her,” Kerr tweeted. “they’d never treat a man like this week of announcement.”

Wait a second…Bachmann is Nancy Pelosi’s Enemy Number One and Pelosi’s aide is bleeding in public over slights suffered by Michele Bachmann? Doesn’t that sound kind of…weird? And Bachmann’s gone through some sort of unprecendented abuse from the media this week? Sheeesh.

More blown kisses smacking the cheek of Rep. Bachmann. These people are desperate to ensure Sarah doesn’t enter this race.

A sitting senator, little Dick Durbin, in a hearing on Tuesday, blathered that an illegal alien, undocumented worker in the shadows with their personhood for you, may become president.
Now that brings up all kinds of jokes, but being concerned what a bloated bag of has-been bile tweets about our conservative candidates is an even bigger joke. When did this place turn into Access Hollywood?

I love how the rightous fury comes out for Bachmann but when Palin is the target everything is fair game. Really amazing I guess it is true those of the Dc establishment stick together. we have no two parties anymore in DC.

Chronically overrated film director Robert Altman threatened to do it. So did Alec Baldwin, the temperamental movie idol and soon-to-be former Mr. Kim Basinger. Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon, Hollywood’s First Couple of Fashionable Leftist Causes, promised to do it. Ditto for actors Martin Sheen, Matt Damon (but not Ben Affleck), Whoopi Goldberg, Rosie O’Donnell and the ever-pugnacious Ed Asner. Barbra Streisand threatened to do it eight years ago. Former JFK press secretary Pierre Salinger is actually doing it now. What are these symbols of socially progressive celebrityhood contemplating? No, they’re not rushing to the defense of yet another wrongly incarcerated Native American activist with two murders to his credit. They’re not plotting to kidnap Charlton Heston’s gun collection or even his toupees. Here’s what they’re up to: Each of them, at some point during the last presidential campaign, threatened to leave the country if a man named Bush entered the White House.

Promises, promises. Old Man Salinger is making good on his word by relocating to France, but what about the others? Do we need to jog their fallible memories by replaying the relevant sound bites? Or should we conveniently forget their pledges to leave our midst if Bush the Younger triumphed over Mr. Gore? Apparently it’s easy to talk of self-exile and a little harder to actually give up that $10 million hacienda in the Hollywood Hills.

Think about it: After World War I an entire generation of American writers and artists abandoned these shores for the bohemian life in France,

If our conscience-stricken Democratic celebrities could set up a colony in exile, say in the south of France or — better yet — somewhere in eastern Uzbekistan, they’d be free from the backward ideologies and the burden of earning untold millions in an unenlightened republic. Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon could host unforgettable evening revels for their left-leaning colleagues. Whoopi Goldberg and Rosie O’Donnell would keep the place in stitches — after all, they’d be among folks who actually find them funny.
(More…………)

The only time Twitter is even remotely interesting is for entertainment purposes, such as when a drunk pro-athlete or a spaced-out actor sends out a statement so insulting or startlingly stupid that it shocks the senses.

Who is that in the pic? Sheesh, I haven’t seen Alec Baldwin that good-looking in years. Hardly recognized him.

This post is kind of light on substance, no?

Bingo. Anytime anyone screams “sexism” regarding female Republicans, Santorum is a perfect example. Look what “they” did to him! I usually use Quayle, Bork, and Reagan, but Santorum was brutalized. It’s not the gender, it’s the conservatism.
